    Michael Jackson Memorabilia Lawsuit Tossed Out Of Federal Court

    LOS ANGELES -- A lawsuit Michael Jackson filed two years ago against a New Jersey man over Jackson memorabilia shown on a pay-per-view Web site was tossed out because he stopped pursuing it, court papers showed Wednesday.


    The entertainer had alleged in his lawsuit against Henry V. Vaccaro that at least some of items displayed still belonged to him, and Vaccaro had no right to them. U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper had acted on the allegations by issuing a court order barring Vaccaro from displaying or selling the items while the case was pending.


    It was unclear late Wednesday how the dismissal order would affect the possible display of the items -- including costumes, letters, court papers and pictures.

    The items had been in an Oxnard storage facility, and were sold as part of a bankruptcy proceeding involving Jackson's parents and two brothers, Tito and Jermaine, Jackson's lawsuit stated. An attorney for Vaccaro, Edgar Pease III, said after a court hearing in March 2004 that his client had paid about $25,000 for the items.


    They were cataloged and displayed on a Web site that promised "the MOST juicy information" about Michael, Janet, Latoya and the rest of the Jackson family.


    Although the court order barred Vaccaro from selling the items, several news outlets reported in 2002 that before the order was issued, Vaccaro had already sold some items to a European buyer.


    A call placed to a Jackson representative was not immediately returned late today, and an attorney who had represented Jackson in the matter said he was no longer involved in the case.


    Jackson had sought at least $10 million from Vaccaro.

    Eigentlich hatte Michael auch größere Probleme, aber ist immerhin teilweise sein Eigentum, dass da verkauft wurde.......hmmmmmm. Doof!

    Richter verwirft Klage von Popstar Jackson gegen Andenken-Verkäufer
    Los Angeles - Eine Millionen-Klage von Popstar Michael Jackson gegen den Verkäufer einer Andenken-Sammlung ist von einem Richter in Los Angeles verworfen worden. Jackson habe den vor zwei Jahren begonnenen Streit nicht mehr weiter verfolgt, zitierte der Sender NBC4.TV aus der Begründung des Richters. Der Disput drehte sich um den Verkauf von Erinnerungsstücken, darunter Briefe, Bilder und Kostüme, die einst der Jackson-Familie gehörten. Mit seiner Klage im März 2004 wollte der Popstar den Verkauf der Gegenstände stoppen.

    Ich denke Michael verfolgt in Amerika überhaupt nichts mehr, er lebt momentan in seiner eigenen welt, dicht abgeschottet, fern von der Realität....

    Lawyer: Negotiations under way to settle Janet Jackson lawsuit


    Associated Press


    LOS ANGELES - Negotiations are under way to settle Janet Jackson's lawsuit against a New Jersey man over memorabilia that she and her superstar brother claimed were stolen, an attorney said Thursday.
    A federal judge dismissed Michael Jackson's portion of the lawsuit against Henry Vaccaro on Tuesday because he had stopped pursuing the two-year-old case, but his sister's claims remain active, said Edgar Pease III, Vaccaro's attorney.
    "We're negotiating a resolution of that," he said.
    After-hours calls to Janet Jackson's publicists seeking comment Thursday were not immediately returned.
    Vaccaro had a warehouse full of memorabilia from Jackson family members that included gold-trimmed costumes, financial documents, letters, awards and one of Michael Jackson's first outfits worn with the Jackson 5.
    According to Pease, the items included gold records and personal items including skin bleach, soiled underwear, sexual videotapes, sexual paraphernalia, and a hand-drawn picture by Jackson of a 7-year-old boy.
    The underwear and some other items were turned over to the Santa Barbara County district attorney's office during its unsuccessful prosecution of Michael Jackson on child molestation charges, Pease said.
    Vaccaro, an Asbury Park construction company owner, said he was awarded the memorabilia after years of legal wrangling stemming from a failed business venture that wound up in bankruptcy court.
    He took items that had been in an Oxnard storage facility but were sold during the bankruptcy proceeding involving Jackson family members.
    The singer and his sister sued, saying some of the items still belonged to them and Vaccaro only had a right to property belonging to his brothers, Tito and Jermaine, and their parents.
    Virtually all of the items, except for some of the items taken by the district attorney, were sold and Vaccaro no longer has them, Pease said.
